This is a great blog Stephen! Love the history and culture, I'll be dropping by a lot. I've always loved Charles Dutton too! He's stood strong in the struggle to maintain a balanced media portrayal for Black men.
Dutton is like, one of may all time favorite contemporary movie actors. Glad he's getting his props. Good work on this blog, Stephen, you seem to be all about giving credit where credit is due.

He is a fine example that "we are not our worst moments" his time in prison, and his release tell us that the human spirit if nutured and give half a chance can make a success in life.
Kudos to you for shining the light on where it ought to be shined! *smile*

Marvin-
Yes, I take pleasure in giving that credit. We can wait until they're no longer around. We must give it now. Besides, Charles Dutton is just a great example of what one can do against all odds.
He is a great actor. I particularly liked him in Cry, the Beloved Country, and then also in Alien 3.
Hope you are voting, by the way!!
Emil-
